Professional Development/ Workshops
Professional development is necessary in order to keep up to date on best practices and to be incompliance of licensing standards. Community Coordinated Child Care is a leader when it comes to teaching adults working with young children. Our goal is to improve professionalism of teachers and the value of care for young children.
Community Coordinated Child Care of Union County offers two types of trainings: On-Site Professional Development and Web-based (online) Professional Development.
On-Site and Web-Based Workshops
Our on-site trainings are held in a classroom setting (primarily at CCCC). Child care staff, directors and family child care providers can search and register for a workshop by clicking the red "Professional Development/ Trainings” button above.
CCCC offers on-line professional development workshops that can be done from the comfort of your own home. These courses are designed to help early childhood professionals complete annual training requirements and can be used towards:

General Professional Development Workshops
CCCC takes the time to assess the needs of the early care community. Workshops are then developed to meet those needs. Our workshops meet the NJ Department of Education, NJ Office of Licensing and NJ Workforce Registry standards. We also offer continuing education units (CEU’s). Sample workshop topics we offer include: child development, learning theory, parental involvement, assessment and curriculum.
